Prepare the meatballs: In a bowl, combine ground meat, finely chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well and form small meatballs about the size of a walnut.
Cook the meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Cook the pasta nests: Boil tagliatelle nests in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Assemble the nests: Place cooked pasta nests in the skillet or a baking dish. Carefully stuff each nest with a meatball and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
Add sauce and cook: Pour tomato sauce evenly over the nests. Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes on low heat until the cheese melts and flavors combine.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and enjoy warm.
